(I don't own any of the Mega Man Characters except Raine)
It was a normal day at Maverick Hunters HQ. X was doing some paper work, Zero was training some rookies in his troop and Axl was bored out of his mind. 'Man, there is no one to talk to', thought Axl. You see, in reploid years, Axl is considered a teenager. So naturally, Axl was both annoying and got bored easily. While Axl was busy talking to himself on how bored he was, a beautiful reploid named Raine came walking by holding a mountain of papers. Axl, being the sweet kid (or guy) he was, walked over to help her out.
"Hey, that looks a little heavy, let me help you", Axl said.
Raine said, "Sure, thank you." Both then smiled at each other. After helping Raine out, Axl decided to head to X's room to gather more info on Zero being X and Zero were his role models (I would do the same thing if I was him).
X's room was that of a normal room: desk, computer, recharge pod, a few lights, a closet for his armor, and maybe a bed for relaxation. X was busy working on some late paperwork when he heard a knock at the door, he stopped what he was doing and went to see who it was. He opened the door to find Axl standing there looking around the hallway.
"What do you need Axl", X asked. Axl just looked at him and replied, "I was bored, so I came to see if you could tell me more about Zero."
He shrugged and let Axl into his room. Axl just sat on X's bed waiting for whatever to happen. X came and sat on the chair at his desk.
"What else do you want to know about Zero?" X asked
"Everything", Axl replied.
So, X started from the beginning of the Maverick wars and all the way to the 8th uprising.
"Zero is one of the best swordsman the Maverick hunters could ever have, even before the third maverick war", X said.
"How so?" Axl asked.
"Zero is capable of wielding almost any type of solid blade or beam saber to ever be created by man and machine because he was designed to handle a sword like it was a part of his soul", X replied. What X had just said caught Axl's attention and the little reploid asked more questions.
"Why would he consider a sword to be a part of his own soul?" Axl asked.
"A master swordsman once said, and I quote, 'A person that could wield a blade as a part of his soul would be considered the greatest swordsman in the world' and Zero has been training hard ever since, to be the best swordsman in the world ", X said.
"I see, but why would he train harder if he was designed to be the best swordsman?" Axl asked.
As their little conversation carried on, outside the room, Zero stood listening to what X was telling Axl. Zero just smirked at what was going on inside the room and walked off after listening to the story for a few minutes heading to his quarters.
"Axl, you have no idea how hard it is to become the best swordsman", Zero said to himself as he opened the door to his room.
